The little joys

(moved from the old diary-type thing)

Wow, it's summer at last! Just thinking... while I was getting to work this morning... that nearly every time I get weird looks, it's because I do childlike things and enjoy them... So I made up a list of things that everyone should be "allowed" to do :-)

• blowing the parachute-like dandelion seeds
• walking through dry leaves and kicking them high into the air
• balancing on fences, curb ledges and the like
• kicking stones (or in the winter, snow or ice lumps) along the street
• building castles in the sand
• testing if one can fit in a crack or under a ledge in rock, or or under a tree with long, drooping branches
• climbing trees
• hopping from stone to stone at a beach or a riverbank
• picking up ladybugs and making them fly from one's fingertip
